Lyrics
I know a tropic moon that’s beaming
I know a steadfast heart that’s dreaming
I hear a southern breeze whisper to fragrant trees
Over the pond are fireflies gleaming
Refrain
Down in old Brazil the Amazon’s flowing
In the forest crimson lillies are growing
There I left my heart and now I am going
Back to live in old Brazil
Refrain
In the grand pavillion lovers are dancing
Flirting with their flow’rs and eyes so entrancing
Over oceans I still see their gay glancing
‘Neath the moon in old Brazil
